On Tuesday 24th March, Biddulph High School hosted the annual Inspire Dance for 2026. The high school dance leaders have once again inspired our own dancers with their exciting choreography in preparation for the big show! After weeks of rehearsals and a technical rehearsal at the high school on Thursday 19th March, the groups were ready for their big night. Parents were entertained by a variety of dances from our Year 5,6 & 7,8 dancers who produced a fantastic performance for the audience. A massive well done to all of James Bateman students who performed on the evening, we are very proud of you! A big thank you to Mrs Street, Miss Whitehurst and Miss Hanks who supported our clubs, the staff involved at the high school and the Biddulph leaders for all your hard work. Our dancers loved it!
